Myles Cale delivered a season-high 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting, complemented by 21 points from Tornike Shengelia, who finished a perfect 10-of-10 from inside the arc, as FC Barcelona cruised to a dominant 109–78 victory over Rio Breogan at Lugo’s Pazo dos Deportes.
Will Clyburn and Kevin Punter chipped in 18 points apiece for the squad coached by Xavi Pascual. A collective 66% shooting performance, including a blistering 15-of-26 from three-point range, secured the comfortable win, snapping a three-game losing streak across EuroLeague and Liga Endesa play, improving Barca’s record to 15–6 in the 2025–26 ACB Regular Season.
Already missing Juan Nunez following right knee surgery, the roster faced further depth issues with late scratches for Dario Brizuela and Nicolas Laprovittola, both sidelined with minor injuries. Additionally, Miles Norris remained unregistered for the domestic matchup.
Elsewhere in early Sunday Round 21 action, Unicaja took down Girona 90–83 at the Pavello Girona-Fontajau, and Asisa Joventut overcame an early 15-point deficit to crush Coviran Granada 109–73 at the Palau Municipal d’Esports de Badalona.
